THE PROS AND ANTS.
Public Speaking at Different
Places Last Night.

There assembled last night at the
court house a large crowd to listen to
the United States District Attorney
Pearre and Col. M. l.. Crawford dis
cuss the prohibition question.
Both of these gentlemen are able
men-men who stand at the head of
the bar in Texas, and their argument
partook largely of the legal form, but
sufficiently interspersed with more
general points which together gave
the addresses position that will rank
among the best that have been made.
Such men and such speeches make
prohibition votes every time they are
made.
Col. Whitehead held forth to the
ants in Alderman Gamers hall to
quite large crowd. The colonel is
good speaker and has an uncommon
use of language. He was applauded
long and loud.
Bishop Turner spoke TO large au'
dlence of colored people last night at
the New Hope Baptist Church on San
Jacinto ST. eet. The bishop told all
about the rotten-egg throwing at the
prohibition meeting at San Antonio.
Ii is his opinion that those rotten-eggs
will hatch enough prohibition chick
ems on the day Of election to carry the
amendment by good majority.

A NEGRO
Shows q Pair of Heels to an Of
ficer, Who Shoots Three
Times.

This morning Officer Kivlin discov-
cred negro man he had been looking
for for several days on the top of a
pile of slaves at a cooper shop, and
commanded him to come down. The
man came down and when Kivlin laid
his hand on him, the negro boltcd and
ran. Kivlin called to him to halt, but
he did not obey, and the officer sent
shot No. flying over his head which
caused the negro TO increase his sreed
No. Q made him leap like buck, and
shot No. 8 seemed to send the negro
forward like the wind. In about half
an hour afterwards, Officer Beard rode
by to where Kivlin was standing and
said, "Kivlin what did you kill that
negro for2 Shot dead, bullet went
into his side and clear TIN ough him"
The palor which overspread the face
of the officer was pardonable, as he
only shot AZ the negro to intimidate
him; but imagine his relief when Of
flcer Beard smiled and said it was all
right.

The " Great Eastern "

The huge steamship, which might
have been Christencd "Brune's folly,"
is at last going to be put to the work for
which she was originally intended
namely, the Austrian trade; but not
before she has undergone an important
metamorphosis She is to have her pad
dies removed and to trust to her screw
propeller alone She IS moreover, to
have her engine power enormously in
creased, so as to be able to do twenty
knots an hour There is no reason why
she should not do this In spite of her
enormous bulk she is vessel Of beautiful
lines, and to the day Of his death was the
pride of her designer, Mr. Scott Russell.
Only "a short time before his death |
heard Mr. Scott Russell express his con
tidence in the future Of the great ship
which had been conceived by Brunei
and executed by himself, notwithstand-
ing that she had then for nearly twenty
wears been a colossal failure The "Great

biggest ship ever built, but some Of the
larger Atlantic liners do not fall 50 very

A tract of land, sixty miles by forty,
near Port Hope, Canada, produces more
peas than any other equal area IN the
world. The secret of this is that peas
grown on this favored tract are free from
bugs. One-third of the land is sown
with peas yearly, and many American
seedmen have their peas grown here. The
exemption from bugs is attributed to the
effect of Georgian Bay in cooling the
summers so that the bugs do not mature
early enough for the peas

''the greatest living writer, and incom-
parably the greatest writer of fiction

very bold and far-reaching claim; and

siderable difficulty in persuading the
